Don't go out there...

"Mom, don't go out there!  There is white wet stuff piled all over the place.  It's coming out of the sky and I don't think it's ever going to stop. Meow, meow!"  Said Maggie Mae.  "I'm going to tell Shayna and Kattie!"

"Meow!" Shayna said.  "Humans are really crazy but they could be out hunting for cat treats, so don't stop them."  Shayna is older and wiser and really loves those cat treats that come in the purple package.  She knows the cat treats must be hard to catch, even faster than mice, because mom doesn't always bring them home.   "Meow!  I wonder where they are going?" 

We headed out for one of our favorite breakfast places.

It's the most beautiful thirty minute ride in the gentle rolling hills of Northwest CT.

The Wandering Moose Cafe in West Cornwall, CT.  A charming place with great blueberry pancakes, cheese omelets, and coffee.

It also has the advantage of being across the street  from one of Connecticut's last two scenic covered bridges.

I love this sculpture in one of the front yards next door to Shaker Furniture maker I.M. Ingersoll.

The air was crisp and the water a bit choppy but we had a quick walk along the river after our breakfast.

Unfortunately our favorite used bookshop, Barbara Farnsworth Bookseller, was closed.  Barbara worked as a writer in France for many years.  The building itself has a history.  The bookstore is housed in a former Masonic Hall.  It was also home to James Thurber, and also Mark and Carl Van Doren.  I'm hoping she'll be open on our next visit.

On the way home we satisfied an odd compulsion to stop for cat treats.  When we got home all the kitties were waiting by the door.  We distributed some of the delicacies and soon all the cats were curled up in their favorite spots sound asleep. 

All in all, an excellent morning!
